Customer Reviews for Insight Sand Perches

Not all perches are created equalThe varying diameters along the length of the Insight Bird Perch exercise the muscles in your bird's feet while the rough texture provides an excellent surface for normal wear of your bird's nails

Great

My parakeets tend to favor this perch over any other in there cage. Its good to have multiple perches all different sizes and textures to avoid feet problems.

Product is so so!

The product is functional for what it is advertised. It has a mildly rough surface and a varied diameter for claw management. Because of its rough surface, it requires a brush for cleaning which is otherwise very easy as it is made out of plastic. The real weakness is that the screw mechanism that attaches it to the cage is easy stripped if you slightly over tighten it and it is then use less.

I bought this for my 3 month old conure and he wasn't to interested in it at first but as the week passes he grew fond of it . He loves to hang out there and relax. This sharp class have dulled down and he uses it to clean his beak:) I recommend this product . I'm very pleased!

Okay but good price!

I bought the regular size for my green cheek conure. The size is a little on the small side to be effective in dulling his nails. I think this product would work better for smaller birds like parakeets and finches over the medium size birds. However, the perch isn't even and has various diameters to help exercise the bird's feet which is great. But where it's thinner is basically useless for the nail dulling purpose. The price is great, and it's been holding up well after several washes. The plastic screw doesn't hold up at all if you move the perch around unfortunately. The screw should also be longer. My bird is pretty spoiled and has two wood perches, two rope perches, one concrete, and this sand perch in the cage. He doesn't seem to like this perch despite me putting it higher up in the cage. I try to put his skewer and give treats near this and the concrete perch to encourage usage. But please don't let this be your main perch for your birds! I see others writing that they've bought multiple of these and birds truly need variety of textures and sizes to keep them happy and healthy. Sand perches can be very damaging to a bird's feet if this is their main perch, they can develop sores. This should NOT be a sleeping or the highest perch. Your vet will tell you the same.

Not so good

PostedMay 15, 2013

Conuresaurus

from ME

My green cheek conure's nails would have to be morbidly overgrown for this perch to help file them. These perches irritated his feet, and his cere from rubbing his beak on it. They also have a strong, unpleasant plastic odor, and one of them broke fairly soon after purchasing it (the screw-on backing stripped the plastic and would no longer keep it attached to the cage).

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great little perch

I love this perch because it does help with my parakeets' nails. They love it and are always on it, plus my one parakeet loves to do circles all the way around it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants their birds nails maintained. It really does help.

A must have!!

Our cockatiels love this perch!!! I helps keep some of their toes sanded down, but the front and back ones are too long and don't touch the perch very well. I'll have to go back to the ole' nailclipper. :D But they love this perch and it looks really nice in the cage! Must have!! I'll be purchasing more!

Cool Perch!

My Conures each have this perch and they love it! The sandy texture keeps their nails trimmed and their feet smooth. They wipe their beaks on this to get some food off or they just relax. It's a really great perch, I love it!

Didn't want to have to cut nails

PostedAugust 10, 2011

Lynne11

from NJ

I bough this perch so I wouln't have to cut my finches nails or beak. Best perch on the market. Their nails are shorter and no bleeding from cutting and when then bathe, they wipe their beaks on the perch and that keeps it neat and short at well. Won't buy any other perch. A perk is that this perch is a wavy type so the width of the perch are two different sizes which is very good for the birds.

My cockatiel hates this perch

PostedMay 15, 2011

LoveAnyPet

My cockatiel hated this perch. The moment her feet touched it, she jumped off immediately and never went near it again. I took it back and spent the money on a toy instead. She really likes her wood perches, so I'm sticking with those right now and planning to add a rope perch and a grapevine later on.

good perches

PostedOctober 7, 2010

birdwhisperer

These are the best perches I have found although it is difficult to get them fitted well between the bars. The cap needs to be wider.

They do a good job with keeping claws trimmed.

Nice product

Birds need a variety of different size perches in order for them to maintain healthy feet. These are just right for our Budgies and Finches. We are breeders and if you know anything about raising a lot of birds, you soon find yourself cutting and trimming lots and lots of nails, especially mama's nails. When there are a lot of baby birds hatching and feeding, they are increasing their intake of calcium, which of course leads to their nails growing more rapidly. This item allows them to exercise the feet and helps to trim their nails. I still have some trimming to do, but not as often for sure.
